Great job!

Took a quick looking at CSC, and OCS. Pretty spicy stuff!

Later I’ll take a closer look at the sources too.

Concentrating is another big thing in this. If it stays below certain limits, it should be ok. In this case, the limit is probably very low.

“In 1882 I was in Vienna, where I met an American whom I had known in the States. He said: 'Hang your chemistry and electricity! If you want to make a pile of money, invent something that will enable these Europeans to cut each others' throats with greater facility.'”

Hiram Maxim

I wonder if something similar happened with openAI.

Forgot about NFTs and marketing. Invent something that will enable these Europeans to cut each others' throats more efficiently.

Any ideas what the waste is? Is it quartz, arsenic, plutonium or something else?

LOL, that was a brilliant summary about what these contracts usually boil down to. However, they should probably include these things too: “You’re not allowed to do anything cool. If anything goes wrong, it’s always your fault.”

These brutally honest super short contracts could be fun to read.

What about Linux then? A 1337 OS with some noob features sprinkled in for color? Or maybe a server OS with desktop features stapled on the front?

Or maybe if has something to do with the limited availability of VC money. If you can’t find people to throw free money at your company, you need to figure out a way to actually make it profitable. You know, like a normal business…

After 15 rounds and 995.4 M$, maybe it’s about time.

Imagine how hard it would be to buy stuff or use free services if you actually had to read and understand the contracts every time.

Ok, I’ll just quickly check on Google maps what’s south of Mongolia. Oh, I need to read all that before seeing the map? Well, maybe later. Don’t really have the time for that right now.

If that’s what life was like, laziness would win nearly every time and companies would have hardly any users or customers. Eventually some companies would probably make super short contracts in order to lower the threshold.

Can confirm. This is the way.

I keep on taking that lesson from time to time, but I still haven’t passed the final exam.

Finding the right materials has been really hard, but the next obstacle is scaling up the production. As long as we’re talking about small scale production, these batteries are going to be really expensive and only suitable for very few products.

VW is suggesting that they have solved both of these problems, which obviously makes me a bit skeptical. However, I don’t think it’s impossible, but I’m saying it’s really hard. I would have expected to see some luxury products use SSBs first before seeing them in main stream brands.

Typo. Was supposed to swipe “storage expenses”.

Given that we’re talking about batteries… Remember what phone and laptop manufacturers say about their batteries?

On top of that, these are solid state batteries, not your usual Li-ion batteries with a liquid electrolyte. This is the first time I’ve heard of a large well known company announce they’re using solid state batteries.

That technology has been under development for decades, and it has been applied in some very special devices before, but maybe now it’s finally the time to start large scale production.

And with this brilliant move they are going to increase bandwidth and storage expenses. There’s a reason why it’s so hard to compete with YouTube.
